I've seen them before, iirc it's a 4 player game of the pong type of games (think Video Olympics on the 2600). Most if not all of the games require multiple players so it's only really any good in a setting where that can happen (like a bar). It looks pretty fun if you can get some 4 player games going. Pretty sure Andy Welburn had one or a PCB for it at one time.

Nice video on YouTube of some guy reviewing it.It's taller than typical sit down bar tables I know, but no big deal.I have 3 young kids 8 down to nearly 4 years and I'd have this in the living room for 3 or 4 months then move it on.They play the Vectrex regularly enough and this would look quite nice to it I think :)

I say go and snap it up, I'm sure it will be a fun to play. I remember studying the details of this game about 10 years ago but I've never seen one for sale. The fact it plays multiple games means it will stay fun for longer

I hate when good stuff ends up on eBay - but I swear to gawd I'm sick to the back teeth of sellers here in Europe who advertise then abandon on local "for sale" sites. At least with eBay they are legally obliged to sell.

The white marks on the plexiglass look like a mixture of emulsion paint and some food stuff - possibly icing sugar...Should clean off well. If anyone knows a good product for shining plexiglass? Otherwise I'll google it.

The machine powered up fine. Screen flickers during it's self test. Freeplay button put in place of the front lock, and a hideous iron latch added to keep the coin door closed. Rear panel has a lock, but it seems stuck. 2 screws holding back panel closed - not a big deal.Interlock switches have been removed.

Small bit of rot to the rear panel at the bottom, but overall the cab is in good condition.

It does soft reset after a couple of minutes of gameplay, but considering it's nearly 40 years old and doesn't look like it's had much maintenance - I'm rather impressed! My pinball mate will give it a clean, check voltages etc, and he's already expressed an interest in taking off my hands when I'm bored with it :)

I can definitely see this being popular with kids and the oldies - the 4 player table football game is surprisingly fun.

I think it was the Novus stuff I saw someone take Vectrex overlays and transform them "like witchcraft"?

I should maybe start a new thread on the repair section...

My pinball mate is doing the power supply.

To quote him exactly...

On the power supply, there's a huge capacitor (5cm diameter) Sprague Electrolytic 26.000uF 15V.
On mouser, I have plenty of choice from 2.5€ to 32€.
I guess the one of 32€ is better than the one of 2.5€.

I don't want to get into the whole conversation of whether the cap needs replacing - I've had endless conversations with him about ESR meters, in circuit and out of circuit testing etc...

I'm also looking for a good write-up on renovating those owl-eyes..I've seen one around at some point...
